Really interested in running this. I use them for the 5w-20HM in my hemi and I'm at 172k with no issues.
I use Mobil 1 0w40 in my Nismo, 5.7 Power Wagon, and 5.7 Grand Cherokee. Both the PW and GC had over 130,000 miles on them when I traded them in. Never had the Hemi tick in either one. The Nismo gets beat on during trackdays.

We have a winner.

We've been talking about a long drive this fall - to swamp country.......... likely will take the JT as she hates putting miles on her JLU and prefers more distance between gas stops.
I figured the risks are increasing for battery thefts and just plain messing around with stuff, especially when away from our home area. They won't stop anyone serious, but you can't just flip a couple of latches any more and get full access.
Cheap 10 minute install - if even 10 minutes. 10mm socket, 13mm wrench, done.
Are there better? Most likely - but it's a matter of who I'm trying to keep out.


Good guess since it's in both pics, but it's been on this truck almost since I got it (moved it from my 2020 to this 2022)
So.........how many 10mm sockets did you lose during the install?

You got your first spot of bug shit on your deflect this year.
No kidding - saw a spider out enjoying the warm sun, too. Crazy for February in Iowa. Bugs on the Jeep already.

Today I left the Mojave in the garage while the BEAST did the heavy lifting getting this load of firewood up the hill from the pond.
2007 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI.

This load is probably around 3x its own weight.
One more tree to cut tomorrow in the view improvement project.

Make sure your checking for squirrel nests - its baby season right now. Lots of rehabbers in your area that can help too if there is one.

Seeing a lot of small critter road kill on the roads lately. So spring is around the corner.

I installed my new smart-cap EVOa adventure camper shell. Very pleased with packaging and boxes labeled fit and finish. Perfect.

Still too early.
Spring isn't truly here until the armadillos are splattered all over the roads in the south.?

Ya think?

Seen from our sunroom this AM - a lot of noise, chasing around, squawking or whatever they do...........after while, about 20 others showed up.

As far as "do" - yesterday I finished putting stuff in place in my wife's JLU like strap and receiver shackle mounts, D ring shackles and such, and finished up making sure I had the stuff in mine, tried to organize it all. There's a whole lot of stuff under and behind those seats! Blankets, jumper cables, light, ratchet straps to secure loads in the back, tow strap, winch controller, snow plow controller. It's packed, the seats barely go back into position. Probably should find a better way.

Someone hit a skunk this morning. Didn't kill it. It was in the middle of the road spraying everything that went passed it. Including my work truck.

I was on a back road going back to the warehouse this morning. I had to stop a let a flock of turkeys cross the road. They acted like I wasn't even there.
